Falkland is an unincorporated community located in the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District of British Columbia, Canada.
[5] Falkland was first settled seasonally by the Salish tribes, who frequently stayed in the region during the summer to gather food for the winter[citation needed].
This mine played a significant role in the local economy, providing employment and contributing to the region's development.
Currently owned by Lafarge, the mine continues to operate, demonstrating the community's ongoing reliance on natural resource industries.
[14] The Canadian flag is located 152.4 metres (500 feet)[citation needed] above the Falkland Valley floor, on Gyp Mountain.
